Tour de France Bingo

Tour de France  Bingo

For a lot of Brits, the Tour de France is just a really long bike race that’s on TV during summer afternoons. But it’s a bit more than that. The TDF is the most gruelling bicycle race in the world contested by around 200 painfully thin men in spandex. There are few sports as physically demanding, except perhaps darts.

Like darts, Le Tour is graced by a sizable contingent of spectators, many of whom get up close and personal with the riders as they go by – sometimes they even cause crashes and pile-ups (see 2021). So despite the apparent dullness of the event, it does make for some edgy viewing every now and then. And there are plenty of tactics and odd terms to get one’s head around. If I haven’t yet won you over or if you’re a fan who likes to multitask, why not try our cycling bingo cards.

Our Tour de France cycling bingo cards feature typical commentator utterances and events that will likely occur throughout the 23 day spectacle. The goal is to mark these off as they occur – the first person mark all or the most off wins! We’d recommend you play for just one day – 23 days of bingo is probably more gruelling than the actual event which. incidentally is televised on ITV4.

Last year’s event had a significantly altered route because of the Paris Olympics.  It started in Florence, Italy and ended with a time trial between Monaco and Nice.  The 2025 event returns to normal, with a route that’s entirely in France.  The first stage is on 5th July in Lille and the 21st and final stage on 27th July sees the traditional finish at the Champs-Élysées in Paris.  Next year’s event ventures outside France again; the Grand Départ 2026 will be from Barcelona.  And in 2027, it’s coming to the UK with stages in Scotland, Wales and England.
